Audit LogAdmin

Reviewing the school's activity log — who changed what, when, and from which IP address.

← All guides

The Audit Log is a permanent, tamper-evident record of every significant action taken in your school's workspace — who added, edited, or deleted a record, and when. It's your first port of call for investigating any discrepancy.

1. Opening the Audit Log

Go to Compliance → Audit Log. You'll see the most recent actions first: timestamp, user, action type, and a brief description of what changed.

2. Filtering

Use the filters to narrow down:

  • Date range — e.g. last 7 days, or a custom from/to
  • User — filter to a specific staff member's actions
  • Action type — e.g. only "receipt_deleted" events

3. What's Logged

The system automatically logs: student admissions and profile edits, fee assignments, receipts issued or deleted, user account changes, result entries, role changes, and system settings updates.

4. Investigating Discrepancies

If a receipt was deleted or a fee amount changed unexpectedly, search the audit log by action type ("receipt_delete" or "fee_assign_update") and date range. The log shows the user who made the change and the IP address it came from.

5. Exporting

Click Export CSV to download the filtered log as a spreadsheet — useful for submitting to external auditors or storing as an annual archive.

Quick Steps

  1. Compliance → Audit Log to open the full activity trail for your school.
  2. Filter by date range, user, or action type to find specific events.
  3. Each entry shows: timestamp, user, action, and the affected record.
  4. Export the audit log as a CSV for external review or archiving.
  5. Use the audit log to investigate discrepancies in fees, records, or user actions.
